Peak performance requires three things working together: spiritual peace from time with God, emotional healing by asking God to restore your soul, and physical movement. The speaker warns against hustling through hard seasons and points to Psalm 23 as a guide for the stillness you need to find your way back.
This season I've really again slowed down and go, where do I operate at my very best, at my highest level? And it's when I'm at peace. And my peace comes from when I spend time with the Lord. So that's my spiritual aspect. Um, when my soul is healed, when I'm really slowing down enough to ask God to heal my soul, my emotions, when I have those under control, and then in movement, you know, in my physical body. It's like, so when those three things come into alignment, like, your days, you operate at your best, your highest level. And so I think that, um, again, going back to that, just taking that time to make sure that those three things are in alignment, you operate at your highest level always. And so that's the hardest part, is when we get into seasons where we are, you know, when things aren't working for us, our natural nature is to hustle and to grind more. But I would just urge people to just stop. Like, that's the hardest thing, is to just stop and to get quiet and to really listen to your body, listen to what God is saying to you. And when you can do that— because the world will tell you to hustle, figure it out, keep grinding, like do 30,000 diets, and you know, and and then read all this stuff and, and, you know, just do what the world's telling you to. But God really tells us just to stop and rest. And then when we catch that rest— like, my favorite verses or scripture is Psalm 23. That's been my season. Like, boy, I'm just peaceful when I'm walking by the still waters, you know. He's leading me there and he's making me lie down in the green grass, and all the other things just disappear, and then I can rest and find the right path again.
